Zash, Broadly speaking, yes, any fastenish thing needs "deep" work on the MAM storage layer. Also any Inboxish thing, which is required (I think) for thin web clients to be efficient.
dwd
phryk, There's some bits of what you need for polls. But I think ideally we need not only forms, but "updatable messages" (or microapps), where a pubsub update can update the rendering of a preexisting message. So you'd present a poll (as form? with quick response? something else?) and by "magic", responses to the form would cause a pubsub event to update your client's view of the message. Perhaps?

dwd, because it's effectively google's proprietary platform at this point. Not to mention the browser which is supposed to be just an http client + a viewer of some goddamn formatted text with forms now takes more to compile than the entire rest of my distro combined - if this isn't bloat, I don't know what is. Note how I say *the* browser because there's hardly any difference between them at this point, it's all a proprietary platform of google and its evil friends

dwd

norkkihas left
jonas’
instead, we'd polish the calling functionality the clients already had a decade ago
wladmishas joined
dwd
jonas’, That's probably wishful thinking. WebRTC didn't exist back then, yet we still had largely non-functional and non-interoperable calling then.
jonas’
maybe
dwd
jonas’, Video calling, in particular, was basically borked. We had voice, though.
adiaholichas left
jonas’
dwd, so integrating some kind of scripting language is a massive barrier for application development
jonas’
you need runtimes for that language on all platforms (the mobile and web ones will be extra fun to deal with), and that needs to be sandboxed properly
dwd
jonas’, I can see that. Especially as being the community we are, we're have to pick something insanely esoteric.
djorzhas joined
jonas’
I think the sanest choice would be webasm.
dwd
I rest my case.
jonas’
cut away all the javascript cruft, go right with webasm asa runtime.
norkkihas joined
adiaholichas joined
jonas’
it should provide all sandboxing and there exists lots of tools to compile to it
jonas’
it's supported by browsers
norkkihas left
jonas’
it should be usable on mobile one way or another
jonas’
I don't like the taste of microapps still.
jonas’
it's not how I (want to) use IM.
jonas’
but *if* one would want to do it, webasm with access to the message and possibly IQs to the sender in some circumstances would probably the sanest way to do it.
dwd
I think the simplest generic platform you could build polls on would be some kind of templating system - and maybe forms with the display stuff is sufficient? - with a kind of encapsulated pubsub driving it, tied to a single node.
dwd
Troulbe is, I don't know what else you could build with that that's of any use.
Link Mauve
Wait wait wait, what would you want to integrate JS or wasm for in my XMPP client?
jonas’
:D
dwd
Otherwise, you need scripting. And the reason I actually quite like the notion of microapps is that a lot of innovation has occured in things like Slack Apps that looks really interesting.
jonas’
Link Mauve, wasm, no JS!
Link Mauve
jonas’, that’s already much more sensible, but… why?!
dwd
Link Mauve, Obviously it'd have to be LUA.
Link Mauve
OH NO, NOT LUA. :p

But anyway, yes, little somewhat-scriptable dynamic messages. Microapps, whatever. We could probably do them without any client-side scripting, or at least with something so restrictive it was a case of "If the user actuates this button send this". But it'd be nice to get something that'd handle, say, polls, or giphy, or whatever else people think up without having to have everything hard-coded into the clients.

So the limited wasm API would still give said external entity on the network access to arbitrary HTTP requests, video decoding, widget drawing, message sending, and what more? ✏
jonas’
I was proposing giving it access only to the message containing the wasm payload, plus maybe IQs to the sender address in response to user interaction.
jonas’
hence, "what is that even useful for given the really low amount of presentational layer influence the wire protocol has"
Link Mauve
Right.
dwd
Link Mauve, I'd probably avoid that for preference, and tie communications back to a fixed source endpoint and - probably - asking permission to send a specific message.
Link Mauve
So that takes giphy and external polls out.
jonas’
Link Mauve, though loading a snippet of wasm to run in your message text prompt would also be interesting
Link Mauve
(If giphy is like tenor.com’s integration into Movim.)
dwd
Link Mauve, Don't think so? Means that the microapp provider has to mediate all communication to third parties, though.
jonas’
then it should just be able to render a preview message based on your input
jonas’
and by render I mean provide the message stanza
jonas’
then your client can render the preview from that
jonas’
(with the client stripping all things it doesn't know about)
jonas’
the wasm could generate multiple variants (in the tenor case, multiple matching videos) and let you pick one of them.
jonas’
then you had a wasm thing which is already quite useful to actually do things
Link Mauve
Aaaaaaah, Movim lets those videos play sound as well! >_<
Link Mauve
I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it.
Link Mauve
edhelas, ↑
Link Mauve
It even loops, with audio.
Link Mauve
And no way to stop it.
Link Mauve
Great UX you have here. ^^'
Link Mauve
jonas’, so, the wasm thing would let any external entity play sound in your client, with no way to do anything against it? :p
ti_gj06has joined
dwd
Link Mauve, Well, you can have a permissioning system to allow/deny audio, I suppose, but in any case, I'm beginning to wonder if it's even required to have a real scripting language, or if we can just handle UI events by passing messages and optionally replacing the entire microapp UI.
Link Mauve
Like the abuse of 0308 we did a while ago in poezio?
dwd
I don't know about that. But given what I can guess, maybe.
I see one correction followed by a ton of subsequent messages...
Link Mauve
Oh, perhaps the plugin didn’t get updated to the new semantics of 0308.
Link Mauve
I’ll have a look someday, maybe.
dwd
In any case, congratulations, you've discovered something worse than spontanetously playing audio.

Link Mauve wrote "I love it" in between the corrections. Perhaps the corrections afterwards are be applied to the original marque test message, however it's not the last message anymore. Thus, last message corrections aren't accepted anymore.

dwd
jonas’, I'd just like some other facilities to do more complex things like polls etc. XEPs actually built to abuse, if you like.
dwd
I mean, the XSF Memberbot could be written as a Slack App. Obviously it'd be ironic to do so, but you could easily enough, I think, write an app that people could see, discover, and vote on, and that would provide all the links etc. And I think that's a more powerful mechanism than anything we have right now.

Your own server doesn't strictly need to know the recipient identity either, only their server.

actually hiding metadata is possible in a p2p chat app. As an example one can quite easily build a chat app over Freenet where absolutely no one but the sender and receiver will know who those are; however with Freenet messages will take a few minutes to deliver so it isn't viable 🙂
IIRC in bitmessage senders are actually concealed and it works sort of but is heavy on cpu and I don't remember if messages are instant
jl4has joined
Sam
I keep thinking about that. If my server knows who I am and the server I'm sending to, but not the user on that server, and the other server knows what server delivered it but not who it was from that would be pretty nice (although it would encourage centralization and more users on a server if you wanted that privacy so you could blend in with the crowd)

There is also briar that works in a mobile context and p2p. And tries to hide metadata.

"sealed sender" on XMPP would be an interesting challenge, because either you can upload bundles to any federated XMPP server, or else you've got to authenticate them to prevent (I think) various abuse cases.
dwd
And if you can authenticate them at all, you can (in principle) track identity. Well, maybe. And if you use tokens shared between clients, they could pass those tokens around and ew.
dwd
(By "maybe", I mean, you definitely could, though you might promise not to).

You could hide the sender from the receiving server with some onion like layer model. And hide the receiver from the sending server.
dwd
Yeah, you'd want something akin to Tor relays, wouldn't you?
dwd
I mean, it's all possible, just not using the model that Signal use.
dwd
And I suspect with the right data gathering of the data they do have, it'd be fairly easy to guess the senders correctly in most cases.
moparisthebest
I think it'd be fairly easy to only tell your server the receiving server instead of full recipient JID
moparisthebest
The problem is, this is useless for people using the same server

dwd
moparisthebest, Yes, that for sure. For basic messaging. Presence gets a bit trickier.
moparisthebest
And also almost useless for very small servers

dwd
moparisthebest, Well, no, it doesn't, but you end up making trade-offs about who is applying ACLs and yuck. We had a big argument about this kind of thing about a decade and a half ago.
moparisthebest
But I guess signal uses it as a "feature" so if we are just after the marketing...
dwd
Yes, as the number of users on a server tends to one, it becomes irrelevant.
dwd
moparisthebest, I'd hope we do more than marketing, yes.
moparisthebest
Right, but that's why we don't have such a feature, it's mainly useful for marketing, not what people actually care about
dwd
And of course, this only really applies to pure consumer messaging. When you're dealing with organisations, it's a different model, and you might only want encryption and metadata hiding from the edges out.

moparisthebest, In my world (my current world, I'm departing it probably forever at the end of the month), the problem would be that any use of such a system would carry the implication that you are, indeed, worth watching very closely. (And Armour Comms does do "message burn", e2ee (by some definitions), etc).

It's fault-tolerant. If some users are killed, this won't affect the rest of us whatsoever.

emus, newsletter material "5.9 billion new XMPP users this month" https://blog.jmp.chat/b/2022-jabber-xmpp-from-sms

5.9 billion was the first estimate I found searching for number of SMS users, mix with a little bit of Matrix math, done...
